My family just got back from a fun summer vacation on Vancouver Island, Canada! I can't wait to tell you about all the pictures.

A great big whale jumped out of the parking lot while we were waiting for the ferry.
wow - a great view of birds and stuff from inside the ferry.
Dad and I are ready - let's go captain.

I crawled all over Dad on the ferry ride.
Grandpa, me, Mom.
Grandma, me, Dad, Grandpa
I got a new toy at the "Goat Market" store.
The beach = MUD!

Here is the family in front of the Hotel where my Dad and Mom stayed on their honeymoon.
